Detection of Cryptosporidium molnari Oocysts from Fish by Fluorescent-Antibody Staining Assays for Cryptosporidium spp. Affecting Humans

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: Three direct fluorescent-antibody staining assay kits for the detection of zoonotic Cryptosporidium species were used to detect Cryptosporidium molnari from Murray cod, and the cryptosporidia were characterized by using small-subunit (SSU) ribosomal DNA (rDNA). To facilitate rapid diagnosis of infection, this study demonstrated that all three kits detected fresh C. molnari and two kits detected formalin-fixed oocysts.
